IT’S A GIRL. Cory and I are having a girl in May. Mom went to the doctor with us Jan. 11 to have the ultrasound done. It was very emotional for me. She will be named Chloe Marie. Cory said she will be daddy’s girl. Mom told me all along it would be a girl. She was smiling big.

Hello friends and readers. Well, we all made it another week and I’m hoping everyone is well.

Over the weekend, I went to Kevin and Janice Goodman’s benefit and the gym was full of things donated and most of all of friends and loved ones who were there to support them. I’m sure the money is greatly appreciated, but the people who came out showing their love and support means a lot. The people who helped work the benefit were great. I know the Goodman family is very thankful to all who helped.

Local citizens make up a non-profit board of directors that govern ORU. The board reviews applications for community projects and makes decisions on when, where, and how to utilize funds.

VFW Post No. 10281 sent a donation check of $350 to the VFW National Home for Children to help replace its 20-plus year old phone system.
